The two absolutely massive Landkreuzer ultra-heavy tanks were the biggest armoured fighting vehicles ever designed. The designs for the land battleships were presented to Hitler in 1942. The P. 1500 was especially huge, it weighed 1500 tons, was almost 140 feet long, had a crew of over 100 and it's 800mm gun was the largest gun ever built(I'm pretty sure the gun was the only thing they built). Fortunately both projects were cancelled in 1943.
